Jeremy Telford began making balloon animals to put himself through college, quickly it inflated into a full blown career.

Now his masterpiece, a Godzilla-sized wiener dog, is in the record books..

“It’s too tall, and it wouldn’t support itself. It was always the intention to have it lying down,” Telford says. “I thought the idea of doing your most basic balloon animal, that uses one balloon, out of thousands and thousands of balloons, would just be ironic.”

In the record books with just under 8,900, Jeremy holds the title of largest balloon sculpture by an individual.
